Helms Workshop

Helms Workshop works from Austin, Texas, but takes on clients worldwide, focusing on consumer goods and hospitality brands. Founded in 2010, the agency has built a client roster that spans startups and more established names, describing its work as branding both global icons and Austin innovators since its founding.

The agency's services cover brand strategy and positioning, naming, and visual identity, extending into packaging identity for physical products. Website design and redesign round out the digital side, paired with website development for brands that need a built-out online presence. Video production and motion work also factor into the mix, giving clients a way to carry a brand identity into moving image alongside static and packaged goods.

Helms Workshop points to a set of concrete outcomes tied to its client work: more than 100 startups launched, more than 50 global news features, six Shark Tank appearances, five placements on Oprah's Favorite Things, and founder exits totaling more than $1 billion. These figures reflect the range of company stages the agency has supported, from early naming and identity work through to consumer-facing recognition and acquisition.
